Boil and bite mouthguards do not offer as much protection as a custom-fit mouthguard. As a custom mouthguard is manufactured to suit the individual’s mouth it will offer more comfort and better fit.How many teeth will the mouthguard cover?

OPRO mouthguards are made to cover all the teeth back to and including the first premolar.

This varies according to many factors, e.g. growth, usage etc. Normally a growing child would require a new mouthguard once a year. Although the teeth and bones may be growing, the mouthguards are flexible, and can accommodate some movement. Older children and adults may not grow, but the mouthguard will wear down with use so we would recommend replacing your mouthguard annually.

We can still make a mouthguard which will fit around the brace. Our technicians will ensure that room is left for movement of the teeth. However, the mouthguard will not last as long because of the movement.

Yes all OPRO mouthguards come with the wearer’s name and order reference laminated into the guard. If you had your mouthguard fitted through a school or club your school/club name will also be added to the mouthguard.

Right here on our website! We provide lists for the schools, telling them which children have ordered, and if you order now, your child's name will be on their list. If the appointment is today/tomorrow, you can still place the order now, but also tell your child to attend the session and take the order confirmation along. You will also need to let the teacher know that you have placed an order over the Internet and would like to attend the dental visit.

The cost of purchasing your custom mouthguard includes standard delivery of the home impression kit and the completed mouthguard at no extra cost. However, we are unable to prepay our returns envelopes and therefore ask that you pay to return your impression to us by post. All mouthguards fitted at an impression visit include delivery of the completed mouthguard to your school/club.

Yes you can change any part of your order up until we receive the impression. Once your mouthguard is being made we won’t be able to change the order. Please contact our customer care team if you would like to amend your order.

If you had your dental impression fitted by a member of the OPRO dental team at your school or club then your mouthguard will be returned to your school/club approximately a week after the visit. You will be notified directly by email when the mouthguards are on their way back.

If your child is unable to attend the dental impression visit and we are not due back into the school/club again during that academic year, we will send you a home impression kit so you can still have your OPRO Custom-Fit mouthguard made. There will be no extra charge for sending a kit.

All home impression kits and mouthguards are dispatched by Royal Mail 2nd class post. If you would like your kit or mouthguard sent out by 1st class post or a tracked service please contact our customer care team after you have placed your order. Additional charges may apply.

Once you place your order your kit will be dispatched immediately. Once we receive your completed impression your mouthguard will take between 3 – 5 working days to be manufactured and dispatched. Please note in peak periods such as September the turnaround can increase to up to 10 working days. You will receive a notification email when we receive your impression and another when your mouthguard is being dispatched.

OPRO mouthguards are made to be comfortable at body temperature and may be tight if too cold. Run your new OPRO under warm water (not hot or boiling water) for 10-15 seconds before trying it for the first time.

It is not unusual for a new mouthguard to be tight, rather like a new pair of shoes which need to be worn in. The most common sore spots are around the edge, particularly above the front teeth, there are two ways to ease any tight areas.

Hold the mouthguard vertically over a sink and carefully pour the boiling water into the offending part of the fitting side of the mouthguard (where the teeth are) for 5-7 seconds. If you have a D3O mouthguard which carries the orange D3O sticker, please apply to the water for 15 to 20 seconds.

Immediately shake off water and place mouthguard in mouth.

Immediately rinse mouth with cold water whilst still wearing the mouthguard.
If required either one of these can be repeated as many times as needed. Remember that the water must be freshly boiled and that steps 4 & 5 must be done in very quick succession.

If you still experience discomfort after taking the above steps, DO NOT use your mouthguard. Contact us at info@oprogroup.com so that we may further assist you.

You should clean your mouthguard with OPRO refresh mouthguard cleaning tablets after each use. Do not use toothpaste or other cleaning materials to clean your mouthguard. Most importantly, do not machine wash or tumble dry your mouthguard.

OPRO cannot control the width of each band of colour as it varies according to the width and height of each individual's teeth.
